Personal life


Scales is from Barndarrig, County Wicklow.[2] He studied Irish and geography at University College Dublin.[2] He is a fluent Irish speaker.[3]


Club career



Early career


Scales began his career with Arklow Town before signing for UCD in 2015,[4] making over 100 appearances for the club, and winning the Collingwood Cup[5] as well as the League of Ireland First Division title in 2018.[2] He was described as "a key player for UCD as they won the First Division title".[6] Scales was voted by his fellow League of Ireland First Division players into the PFAI First Division Team of the Year for 2018.[7]

In 2019 he underwent trials at English clubs Manchester City,[8] and Bristol Rovers with him seeming to be set to sign for the latter before the deal fell through.[9][10]


Shamrock Rovers


He moved to Shamrock Rovers for the 2020 season,[11][12] and "played a significant part in their league success".[3] He also made seven appearances for the club in European competitions, scoring once.[13] In July 2021 he was described as "the hottest property in the League of Ireland" and linked with a transfer away from the club.[14]

On 26 November 2021, he was named in the PFAI Team of the Year for 2021, as voted by his fellow players.[15]


Celtic


After 51 appearances for Shamrock Rovers, Scales signed a four-year contract with Scottish club Celtic in August 2021.[16][17][18] On 23 September 2021, he made his debut for Celtic in a 3–0 win over Raith Rovers in the Scottish League Cup at Celtic Park.[19] Scales made his league debut on 5 December 2021, coming on as a substitute to score the third goal in Celtic's 3–0 away win at Dundee United.[20]

Scales was loaned to Aberdeen in June 2022.[21]


International career


Scales was a Republic of Ireland under-21 international,[4][16][22] winning six caps.[23]

He was called up to the Republic of Ireland senior team for the first time on 3 September 2021 alongside Alan Browne and Callum Robinson for the games against Azerbaijan and Serbia, with the trio replacing the injured Dara O'Shea, Nathan Collins and Shane Long.[24]
